'There was nout much strange about him, old Wyat said, 'but that his scent-bottle was spilt on its side over on the table, and he dead. She thought he was not quite cold when she found him, and she sent the old butler for Doctor Jolks, who said he died of too much 'loddlum. Of my wretched uncle's religion what am I to say?

Impatient at not being recognised, Fairer-than-a-Fairy now drew out her third present, and on opening the crystal scent-bottle a little syren flew out, who silenced the violins and then sang close to the Prince's ear the story of all his lady love had suffered in her search for him.
Ellen, Mademoiselle tells me that you found the scent-bottle broken when you went into her room just now to turn down the bed!"

Alick can walk home with his uncle when he is ready." "Home! Thank you, Rachel, pray do.

Michael's Mount and the bay, rose in thought, with every detail distinct, even to the glass scent-bottle on the mantel-piece, and the colored print of John Wesley being rescued in his childhood from a burning house. These and kindred memories made a live picture to Joan's eyes. For the first time since she had left her home the girl found in her heart a desire to return to it.
